a couple things to note that complicate it:

* a bunch of places didn't have the foresight to actually put buffers between industrial and residential zoned areas (either due to space limitations and/or poor planning)... sometimes people only notice when the empty lot they lived next to for a decade actually gets something built

* currently some protests are whipping up enough fervor where location doesn't really factor, people are fighting against any data centers within city limits at all
